    Oh yeah, they've inducted R&B and blues since the very beginning. Good point! And quite a few who were pop much more so than rock. Bobby Darin, to name one example.

                  Best hip hop album of all time In my humble opinion! Someday I will complete the album…but this is the unedited version of volume onethat does include ryall(5min mark) and I gotta say that I was extremely pleased with the finished product. The other tunes are solid too especially if you like videos with women and especially women's tushies…shake your rump offers a lot of opportunities 😉
                  Volume two is actually finished and has been for over a year but I've not yet uploaded it…no idea why… probably should do that lol!
                  I typically only hock the videos that are FB specific on here…but I am fairly proud of my music videos and this is a fine setting to go shameless plug lol

                    I've barely heard them but if their music is "rap rock", then OK, I guess.

                          It shouldn't even be considered music.
                          It should just be considered something black people do.

                            I consider Hip Hop to be music. It's just not rock music. I'd say the same thing about experimental genres that I like such as Dark Ambient, Martial Industrial, and Power Electronics. I wouldn't put Throbbing Gristle (as much as I love them) or Whitehouse in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame either. Not rock music.

                              If it weren't for the blacks and theír contributions to music he wouldn't have rock n roll or the rock n roll hall of fame. He needs to go sit his Bela Lugosi creature of the night looking ass down somewhere and stfu.

                                He's referring to Hip Hop though.
                                Soul, blues, Jazz, etc., are different.

                                      No, but it's a legit genre.
                                      Hip Hop and Rap are crap.

                                        Hip hop and pop music are on par. So pop music is crap also.
